☆, Chapter 91: Deep Planning

After waiting for a long time, until everyone had almost finished eating, Gu Ran also pretended to put down his chopsticks.

Gu Ximing seemed to be unable to hold his liquor. Whenever someone tried to persuade him to drink, he refused them. He was seen rubbing his forehead, looking uncomfortable.

Nan Xianxian came over and said something to Gu Ximing. Gu Ximing nodded and stood up.

He swayed a bit, as if a little unstable, and supported himself with his hands on the back of the chair.

Gu Ran quickly stood up and said, "Boss Bai, I'll go over there for a moment. My third brother seems to be drunk. I'll take care of him."

After giving a hurried instruction, Gu Ran was about to leave.

Bai Yifan stood up at this moment and said, "I'll go with you. You can't move your third brother by yourself."

Gu Ran hesitated for a moment. It would obviously delay things if she continued procrastinating at this time, so she nodded and took a step forward.

"Third brother!" Gu Ran chased all the way to the door before catching up with Gu Ximing and Nan Xianxian, and called out from a distance.

Gu Ximing paused, turned around, and was not surprised to see Gu Ran and Bai Yifan.

Although the banquet hall is not small, Gu Ran's voice has a wider range, and he just heard Gu Ran's voice.

Gu Ximing walked so fast because he was trying to avoid him, but he didn't expect that Gu Ran would catch up with him.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Ximing pinched his eyebrows and pretended to be uncomfortable.

"I feel dizzy. Let's talk later. I'm going to rest for a while."

As he spoke, he started walking again.

Gu Ran hurried to catch up, feeling a little anxious.

"Third brother, if you feel dizzy, you can go back to the car and rest. Everyone has finished their meal anyway, so why don't we just go home."

Nan Xianxian was following Gu Ximing on the other side. When she heard this, she paused slightly when she was about to reach out to support Gu Ximing, then lowered her head and bit her lower lip.

Gu Ximing waved his hand. "I'm not in a hurry to go back. We're all finally together, and we have activities later. I'll find a guest room to rest for a while. We still have to go to KTV in the evening."

Gu Ran became even more anxious when he heard this. "How can this be possible? It's so dangerous for you to go out alone!"

"I'm not alone." Gu Ximing smiled helplessly, "I have a group of friends. Besides, I'm already an adult. Is it possible that I could be abducted and sold?"

"Uh..." Gu Ran was speechless.

Yes, Gu Ximing is already a grown-up, not a child of twelve or thirteen. What reason does she have to stop Gu Ximing from going out with his friends?

After a moment of hesitation, I arrived at the elevator door.

Gu Ximing walked in while pressing his solar plexus, Nan Xianxian followed him all the time. Seeing this, Gu Ran quickly pulled Bai Yifan in as well.

"Aren't you going back?" Gu Ximing leaned on the sedan and looked down at Gu Ran.

It has to be said that his sister is really not good at hiding things. Just this little bit of her thoughts has been exposed without a doubt.

Even if he couldn't hear Gu Ran's inner voice, Gu Ran's behavior was enough to arouse his suspicion.

"I'm not in a hurry. Aren't you feeling unwell? I'll stay with you and take care of you. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."

Gu Ran smiled foolishly, glanced at Nan Xianxian vigilantly with the corner of his eyes, and shouted as if he had just noticed.

"Hey, who is this beautiful lady? Why haven't I seen her before? Is she your friend, Third Brother?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator arrived and the door opened.

Gu Ximing held the door open and walked out, responding vaguely, "It's a new friend. We were having dinner at the same table just now and had a good chat."

"Hello, my name is Nan Xianxian." Nan Xianxian took the initiative to extend her hand and smiled kindly at Gu Ran.

No matter how stupid Gu Ran was, he couldn't possibly refuse the other person's greeting right then and there. He put his hand on him and said perfunctorily, "Gu Ran, thank you for helping take care of my third brother."

"You're welcome." Nan Xianxian looked harmless.

As he was talking, he arrived at the door of the guest room that Gu Ximing had temporarily opened.

Gu Ximing took out the room card, swiped it, and opened the door.

He seemed to have remembered something, and just as he entered the door, he turned back, rubbing his temples non-stop, and gave Nan Xianxian a somewhat apologetic smile.

"I'm feeling really dizzy and would like some hangover soup. Could you please tell the front desk?"

"Of course." Nan Xianxian agreed readily, "Then I'll go over and tell them to do it. You have a good rest. Call me if you need anything."

"Thank you for your help." Gu Ximing said sincerely, then turned to Gu Ran and Bai Yifan and said, "You guys should do what you need to do. I need to rest for a while."

"Third brother." Gu Ran felt helpless, as if Gu Ximing seemed particularly uncooperative today.

But some things were not easy to say in front of Nan Xianxian. After Nan Xianxian walked away, Gu Ran pulled Gu Ximing closer.

"I don't care if you're dizzy or uncomfortable, you can't rest in this room. Come with me right now!"

He glanced at Nan Xianxian entering the elevator. The elevator door closed, the indicator light slowly went down, and Gu Ran let go of Gu Ximing.

Before she could say anything else, she looked up and met the other person's clear eyes.

Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Ximing and found that he had recovered as usual. How could he still look uncomfortable?

"Uh, Third Brother...are you not feeling uncomfortable anymore?" Gu Ran was a little slow to react.

Gu Ximing put down the hand that was rubbing his temples, and removed his other hand from the door frame. He smiled at Gu Ran and said, "It got better suddenly."

“…” Gu Ran.

This is too fast!

[Did the effect of the medicine Nan Xianxian took wear off so quickly?]

[That's impossible. In the original novel, the third brother didn't wake up until everyone broke into the room.]

[Then Third Brother must have been under the effects of the drug, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed Nan Xianxian to enter his room.]

As for why Nan Xianxian was able to get the room card of Gu Ximing's room, Gu Ran could now guess it.

He must have asked the waiter for a spare room card under the pretext of serving hangover soup.

"You two are acting together. Does this mean you've reconciled?" Gu Ximing looked at Gu Ran, then at Bai Yifan, and smiled knowingly.

Gu Ran was still confused and felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

She glanced at Bai Yifan, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.

[What's the point of reconciliation? We're not just children quarreling.]

[But then again, it seems Mr. Bai isn't really mad at me anymore.]

[It’s really nice to be able to get along with each other like before.]

When Bai Yifan heard Gu Ran's next thought, his expression became a little subtle.

The corner of Gu Ximing's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that girls should not be kept when they grow up.

[No, no, now is not the time to think about this, we should quickly take the third brother away!]

"Third brother..." Gu Ran called out, but before he could take any action, he was suddenly pushed by Gu Ximing.

She looked over in surprise, only to see Gu Ximing reaching out to close the open door, then pushing her and Bai Yifan forward.

"Okay, let's go. I'm not dizzy anymore. Let's find a quiet place to stay for a while."
